If you're considering an eyelid lift in San Francisco or eyelid surgery ...
The Youthful Gaze that Eyelid
Lift Surgery Can Bring
We all want to express the way we’re feeling to
those around us, and our eyes are the first and most
important tool we use everyday for non-verbal communication.
Yet because of aging or heredity, our eyes can actually
deceive those around us. Bags, puffiness
and extra eyelid skin can lead others to believe we are sad, tired, angry,
or in poor health when, in fact, we feel quite the opposite.
Eyelid lift surgery can do wonders for restoring the youthful
glow of your entire face. After all, your eyes invariably
are the focus point for others.
Eyelid surgery corrects
the excess skin, tissue, and fat, which can give eyes
a puffy, sometimes hollow look. The procedure is often
applied to both upper and lower eyelids. The technical
term for eyelid surgery is blepharoplasty. San
Francisco is home to Dr. Mosser’s cosmetic
surgery practice, which can provide you with additional information
about this procedure as well as many others. This section
will familiarize you with eyelid surgery. Here you will
discover:
- what you can realistically expect from eyelid lift surgery
- whether you’re a candidate for eyelid surgery
- the best options and alternatives available to you
- how the blepharoplasty procedure is done
Once you’ve reviewed the benefits and details associated with an eyelid lift, you’ll want to set
up a consultation visit with Dr. Mosser in his office
or in one of his San Francisco
plastic surgery locations
to discuss your specific goals. In this relaxed environment,
he will be able to explain to you:
- whether or not an eyelid lift makes sense for you
- the alternatives for meeting your specific goals
- the step-by-step procedure that you will undergo
- the outcome you can reasonably expect along with risks and possible complications
of an eyelid lift
Aging is the most common cause for drooping, puffy eyes,
though even very young people may have these conditions
from heredity. Eyelid lift surgery removes
excess skin that can cause these effects. It repositions
muscle and redistributes fat that has settled into contours.
And it may sometimes remove excess skin. These techniques
eliminate bags and restore
firmness to the areas surrounding
the eyes. The result is a more alert and more rested
appearance. Here are the key conditions that blepharoplasty
can treat:
- excess skin that extends from the upper eyelid, often impairing
vision
- persistent bags under the eyes
- loose and sagging skin that hides the youthful contour of the upper eyelid
- excess skin and tiny wrinkles in the lower eyelid
- fatty deposits that give the appearance of puffiness
- drooping lower eyelids, which reveal the whites below the iris.
If a drooping brow or crows’ feet contributes to
the aging appearance of your eyes, a brow
lift may be more
useful to meet your goals. In some cases, this surgery
is performed in conjunction with blepharoplasty. San
Francisco has several clinics
that offer skin resurfacing procedures that can further
improve the tone and surface to the skin surrounding the
eye. These procedures are typically done after your eyelid lift
surgery. Oftentimes blepharoplasty surgery is
combined with a facelift to create an overall refreshed
look.
